GPU Schedule Just A Nudge Off Track

OK, you might agree it's way more than a nudge off schedule. However, the latest motion by the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors only pushes a couple of General Plan Update meeting topics a bit down the calendar.

On Tuesday, per County Planning Director Kevin Hamblin's request, the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors canceled the April 7 GPU meeting and agreed to let the April 21 and May 5 meetings focus on the Housing Element rather than the previously scheduled discussion on the plan's Open Space and Conservation Elements.
The latter discussion will take place in May (not September, as first recommended by Hamblin) and other items will move down accordingly.

As the Journalreported earlier, the county's advanced planning staff is desperately working to finish the housing section, with twice-weekly meetings and mountains of work, before its July 1 due date with the State Department of Housing and Community Development.
